CANADA - The Director of Risk Management with h@ms Marketing Services says the changing value of the Canadian dollar is having a greater influence on the profitability of Canadian pork producers than is the US price of hogs.Prices paid in Canada for live hogs are typically determined by formulas which are based on prices established in the United States.As a result of anticipated reduced US exports of beef, pork and chicken due in part to the high value of the US dollar combined with expected larger US slaughter numbers at the tail end of 2016, US hog prices are expected to face pressure.Tyler Fulton, the Director of Risk management with h@ms Marketing Services says the low Canadian dollar has cushioned the impact on Canadian hog producers.

　　加拿大h@ms营销服务风险管理主管称，加拿大货币与美元的兑换价值对加拿大猪肉生产商盈利有着硕大的影响。影响要比美国生猪价格相对猪肉生产商的影响更大。加拿大支付生猪业务的价格通常取决于美国制定的价格规矩。由于美元较高的价值和美国增添的生猪屠宰数量等部分缘故，预计美国牛肉、猪肉和鸡肉出口减少。美国生猪价格在2016年底预计濒临压力。h@ms营销服务风险管理主管泰勒·富尔顿(Tyler Fulton)说：“较低的加元能缓冲美国猪价对加拿大猪肉生产商的影响”。
